Maybe Twitter can allow him to have his account back for his trial, so he can make it even worse for himself and piss off some Republican Senators.

Just to be in the spotlight even if it’s for impeachment. It keeps his name in the news and he likes that. I would just like to go one day without hearing anything about him.

be brought for the crimes being alleged. The evidence is compelling and the legal defense is not.

Let him get a real trial. With rules. With evidence. In criminal court.

With sentencing.

that I'd like to see, but don't know if it is possible. Even if possible, it seems unlikely to me that it would happen. But, if the Senate refuses to convict him, could he face a criminal trial, on the same charges of inciting a riot?

After all, even when people are acqitted in a criminal trial, they can be sued in a civil trial. So if someone is acquitted in a political trial, why not hold a criminal trial?

So didn't the ND Senator(R). Both said it today when asked "If not impeachment, how should he be held accountable.?"

I say let's take em up on that.

They'd probably push for a trial location in a place like Wyoming or Idaho to be sure of having a jury that would not convict.

He hates being the object of ridicule and completely loses respect for anyone who becomes the butt of jokes. His lawyers are a laughing stock, so I suspect they're not long for Trumpworld.

AAA gang and the AA gang.

Hello dumbass, now you're stuck with the A or rookie league lawyer crew. What the heck did you expect after burning all your bridges with the upper league lawyers? Maybe you should have been listening to those lawyers and heeding their advice, rather than looking for sycophants to parrot your fantasies. The client is supposed to be taking legal advice from the lawyer(s) they hire, not the other way round as you seem to insist they do.

You may skate on the impeachment trial once again, because the fix is apparently in, but if any of this stuff ever comes to actual criminal legal proceedings, because you've alienated any decent lawyer you've come near with your games, you're potentially cooking your own goose.
